Chapter 333 Lanruo Temple Entertainment Club
Chapter 333 Lanruo Temple Entertainment Club
Lanruo Temple Entertainment Club is famous far and wide.
After the tree demon grandmother took root in Lanruo Temple, her sphere of influence expanded dozens of miles away.
Naturally, its business scope is not limited to one Lanruo Temple, but there are two groups of girls working in two shifts, the monsters work the day shift and the female ghosts work the night shift.
The tree demon understands sustainable development and knows how to expand the scope of profits.
The tree roots are like a giant birdcage, trapping monsters and ghosts inside. No one can escape, so the only options are inward-looking.
The atmosphere is a bit bad now. As for the reason... Xiaoxue, the banshee who was the best-selling girl last month, has zero kills this month and has not been open for business. Instead, the group of female ghosts who work the night shift are doing a booming business.
The reason was that a top performer suddenly came to Lanruo Temple, which had originally had mediocre performance. Her name was Nie Xiaoqian. She could play the piano, recite poetry, paint and sing, and she was a lady from a wealthy family during her lifetime.
It instantly elevated the Lanruo Temple, which was like a small workshop filled with a lewd atmosphere, to a higher level.
This is the difference in innate temperament. After all, the banshees are transformed from spirits through cultivation. They are beautiful but empty inside. They cannot concentrate on studying. Following the tree demon grandma, they can only do assembly line work and hunt low-quality humans.
But under the leadership of Xiaoqian, the female ghost who was a human in her previous life could easily capture the man who was also a human.
The working time is short and the frequency is low, but the quality is high and one person can replace a group of people.
The tree demon also has requirements for killing people. She will not kill anyone who sticks to her original intention, and only those who are greedy and lustful "evil people".
Killing the evil ones will make it impossible for the upright monks to do anything to them.
To punish evil is to promote good, and tree demons are very good at finding loopholes.
Among them, the blood and essence of good people with some evil thoughts, men with strong bodies, especially monks and masters are the most replenishing.
The female demons led by Xiaoxue only cared about quantity. They killed all the merchants passing by. They were able to do prosperous business in the chaotic world where people were cannibalizing each other, and their hearts were darker than coal.
"Sister, grandma hasn't been coming to our cave recently." A charming figure landed beside Xiaoxue, "Grandma likes to stay at the waterside pavilion recently and listen to those female ghosts playing the piano and reciting poems."
My grandma is also a weirdo. Although she can't read a single word, she likes to pretend to be cultured and intellectual after she got better off.
Recently, my grandma is particularly fond of eating scholar's milk. She probably believes that what you eat will replenish your body.
Life is not easy, Xiaoxue sighed.
She doesn't like to harm people, but she has no freedom, so she can only be an accomplice to the tiger and help the tree monster to harm people.
The female ghost's malicious intentions forced her to think about the group of sisters behind her.
They all look very good when they turn into humans, but they still keep the habits of beasts, and their brains are not fully developed, so they don't know how to distinguish between good and bad people.
For example, female ghosts have endless little tricks like throwing gold, pretending to be lost beauties, etc., which can confuse passers-by. But female demons are different. They don’t understand the effect of twisting their buttocks, and they can’t tell lies smoothly.
It’s hard to lead a team.
"There's even worse news. I heard there's a female ghost named Xiaoqing over there, and her methods are no less powerful than Xiaoqian's."
Labor scab!
Two more came at once.
"Xiao Shuang, I'll go out and take a look again."
Xiao Shuang was nervous: "Sister, are you going to use that trick again?"
Seduction doesn’t work for them, but they do have other tricks up their sleeves, called “I won’t offend anyone unless they offend me.” That is, they trick humans into harming themselves, and then fight back in legal and compliant self-defense.
Commonly known as fishing enforcement.
No technical content but very painful.
"Xiaoxue, it's right for you to think so."
A voice that was neither male nor female was heard, and the chattering group of banshees immediately quieted down.
"Grandma!" The banshees knelt down and shouted in unison.
"Xiaoxue, you are grandma's most beloved child. You are all bird eggs that built nests on my tree. I watched you all grow up. You are the only one who has some human nature among this group of useless things. Do your best and grandma will still love you."
The tree demon has many high-quality female demons under his control, and has recently been trying to get close to the Black Mountain Demon nearby. The first thing the tree demon wants to do is to marry the female ghosts to him.
Banshees and female ghosts also have different levels of closeness and distance.
The tree demon thought that these female demons were incapable of serving people, and if something happened to them when they were sent to the Black Mountain Demon, he would be held jointly responsible.
"Xiaoxue understands." Xiaoxue bowed and accepted the order. Her body transformed into a bird with golden feathers and flew out of the cave.
After flying around in the sky, Xiaoxue soon found two people walking on the road.
One is a hunter and the other is a scholar.
The scholar was ruled out directly because he did not know how to recite poetry and would easily show his weakness. But the hunter was different because he happened to be her target customer group. She had a lot of experience being shot by hunters. Her grandmother also said that the hunter’s meat was chewy and she would want to eat more after having eaten it.
After circling once, Xiaoxue folded its wings and dived headfirst to the ground.
"Bang~"
Tan Wenjie and Ning Caichen, who were on their way, suddenly saw a bird in the sky fall headfirst to the ground and bounce around.
"Brother Tan!" Ning Caichen was surprised, "Quickly draw the bow!"
After using the steamed bun to break two stones, Ning Caichen chose to continue on his journey on an empty stomach. Now his eyes were dizzy and he wished he could swallow the bird alive on the spot.
Xiaoxue was surprised. She thought the scholar would be more difficult to deal with, but she didn't expect him to be so vicious.
But it doesn’t matter. If she can catch two prey this time, she will still be the sales champion.
Tan Wenjie frowned as he looked at the bird demon. It was hard for him to pretend not to see the demonic aura which was so strong.
He walked over, picked up a branch and poked the bird on the ground.
Xiaoxue: "..."
Keep playing dead.
"Brother Tan?" Ning Caichen asked in confusion.
"My bow is a kind bow, it does not kill." Tan Wenjie shook his head, "Besides, this fat bird looks stupid, you might become a fool if you eat it."
"No way?" Ning Caichen swallowed.
He looked at Tan Wenjie suspiciously as he picked up the bird from the ground, and suspected that Tan Wenjie might be planning to eat it alone.
"You want to release them?"
"No, I plan to find a rich man to sell it to for money." Tan Wenjie grabbed the bird's finger and hooked its beak, "Look, what a beautiful bird."
It turned out that both of them were bad guys, one wanted to hurt herself and the other wanted to sell her for money. Xiaoxue felt at ease and her performance was stable.
But the two of them just talked and didn't take any action, which made people very anxious.
Thinking about the hard-earned performance, Xiaoxue decided to stay put.
Ning Caichen also nodded: "Indeed, I have never seen such a beautiful bird."
Two grown men gathered together to watch the birds.
"Brother Tan, why don't you give it a name?"
Tan Wenjie looked at Ning Caichen in confusion and asked, "Are all you scholars like this? You like to write inscriptions and name yourself. Wait, I'm also a scholar, a scholar disguised as a hunter. That's okay."
"Since this bird is golden yellow, why not call it Wangcai?"
Xiaoxue: "..."
Forget it, just bear with it.
"Brother Tan..." Ning Caichen hesitated to speak.
Although it was impolite, he still wanted to doubt Tan Wenjie's identity as a scholar. His naming was really uncultured.
"Let's go. Wait for me to exchange it for money and I'll treat you to a meal."
"Thank you, Brother Tan!"
Ning Caichen reflected on his impoliteness. Brother Tan was really open-minded. He said he would treat us, and he even said it twice. The name was also good.
After walking for a while, the two finally arrived in Guobei County.
Some people on the street drew their knives and started slashing, and they started fighting after failing to reach an agreement over a few words.
"Tsk."
Tan Wenjie just shook his head.
Each of these people is full of hostility, and every businessman has a cunning look on his brow. They can kill anyone by just chopping with a knife.
"Brother Tan, I'll go collect the debt. I'll treat you to a meal after I get the money." Ning Caichen said.
After all, Tan Wenjie had asked him twice to eat, and even though he didn't get to eat, he felt that he should give something in return.
"Achen, you really are a good brother."
Tan Wenjie patted Ning Caichen on the shoulder.
"I'm going to make some money too."
Although he didn't catch any prey, he had gold.
Use French money to buy a lucky gold coin, pinch it into a gold cake, and then use fingernails to pinch it and rub it into gold beans.
In just a few minutes, Tan Wenjie turned into a rich man.
I also bought a birdcage to put the bird demon in.
How could a scholar be without books by his side? Tan Wenjie strode straight to the bookstall.
“How much does this painting sell for?”
Tan Wenjie fell in love with a painting hanging on the bookstall at first sight.
Xiaoxue in the birdcage also saw the painting and recognized the other person's identity: her strong competitor for the sales crown, Nie Xiaoqian!
He is truly his destined opponent, as he managed to capture the rough hunter beside him with just a painting.
Xiaoxue didn't know where Tan Wenjie got the gold, but he didn't use the money to buy food or marry a wife, but instead bought books and paintings. He was really as crazy as those scholars who went to Lanruo Temple.
"Twenty taels." The boss shook his head.
"2 taels."
"make a deal!"
Damn, what a loss!
Tan Wenjie accepted the painting, but was a little unwilling: "You don't want to give me something as a gift?"
Just then, a scholar came over carrying a thick stack of books: "Boss, I want to sell you articles."
The bookstall owner didn't even look at it and said, "Ten cents."
"So little?" The scholar looked down at the book he had written.
The cost of the paper he used to write the book was no less than fifty cents, plus the cost of pens, ink, and time. He didn't expect to get a discount after completing the article.
"Don't you see what I wrote? My article is very..."
"Will you sell it?"
"Sell it, ten cents, give me the money!"
The book stall owner pinched a copper coin to the scholar, then looked at Tan Wenjie and said, "How about these gifts?"
"Gift?" The scholar glanced at Tan Wenjie.
"You sold my book to a hunter?"
"The hunters are eating your rice."
There is actually a professional contempt chain, which makes me angry.
"Don't blame me, brother. I just spoke too quickly." The scholar also realized what was happening and apologized immediately. "It's just that I wrote these articles with all my heart and soul. The book stall owner treated them as gifts. I was upset for a moment. Please forgive me."
Tan Wenjie ignored him. So what if he looked like Fang Tangjing and looked like he was about to have a tryst with a female ghost?
"Get me some books for the exam."
The bookstall owner did not look down on Tan Wenjie. He smiled and gave him a set of books, but Tan Wenjie had to buy a book box from him.
I accidentally made another deal.
Many scholars sold their book boxes and books at low prices, and he made pure profit. The scholar did not see the golden house in the book, but he did.
Tan Wenjie carried his book box and took his painting, and his next step was to check in at Lanruo Temple.
As for the scholar who begged to sell his articles, he ignored him.
He is very busy.
Meet at the place agreed with Ning Caichen.
"Brother Tan, I'll treat you to a meal."
"I'll treat you." Tan Wenjie looked around the dining environment and said, "I suggest you take away instead of eating in."
Two roast chickens, give one to Ning Caichen, and buy a pot of wine. In case you encounter Yan Chixia, the apprenticeship set should be complete.
He doesn't become an apprentice, he just learns some skills.
Ning Caichen smiled and didn't refuse. He knew that Tan Wenjie was not just talking.
I dare not spend the money I collected carelessly.
"Where are you going to stay tonight?" Ning Caichen said, "We can find an inn and sleep in the same bed. This will save us money."
"Me? I'm not used to sleeping with men, and the place I went to didn't charge."
"Where?" Ning Caichen asked.
"Lanruo Temple!"
Xiaoxue in the cage suddenly flapped her wings.
Wait, why would the customer I was targeting actually go to Lanruo Temple on his own initiative?
"But Brother Tan, I heard that Lanruo Temple... is haunted." Ning Caichen lowered his voice and whispered.
He just overheard it accidentally.
Tan Wenjie looked at Ning Caichen in surprise. Ning Caichen had become a normal person.
That’s right, if he has money, why would he live in a dilapidated temple?
Xiaoxue in the cage couldn't help but nod, strongly expressing her agreement, "Don't go to Lanruo Temple to deliver results to your mortal enemy."
"Then I'm even less afraid." Tan Wenjie said, "I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door."
Ning Caichen didn't understand: "Why do you want to go to Lanruo Temple?"
"I'm a hunter, there's plenty of game in that area."
Can't refute.
"Brother Tan, I wish you good luck."
The two of them were just casual acquaintances, and Ning Caichen actually didn't believe that there were ghosts in the world.
When Tan Wenjie arrived at Lanruo Temple, it was almost dark.
I entered Lanruo Temple and looked around, but there was no one there.
"Hey, where's Yan Chixia?"
